Botran Roajú Rum (70cl, 40%)

Botran Roajú is an aged rum from Guatemala, created by Casa Botran in Quetzaltenango. It blends rums aged between 8 and 20 years, matured using Botran's dynamic Solera method. The blend is aged in sherry (Oloroso), port (Tawny) and two American whiskey casks, with a finishing period in casks that previously held a Spanish wine from Burgos. The rum has a dark copper colour. It smells of toasted wood, caramelised notes, dark fruits, prunes and spice, with cinnamon and pepper. On the palate there are toffee, dark fruits such as prunes and black cherry, toasted wood and roasted coffee, with toffee notes lingering at the end.
